Such calls prompted vice foreign minister Masataka Okano to summon the Chinese ambassador, Japan's foreign ministry says

The Chinese embassy in Tokyo said it too had been receiving nuisance calls, from Japan., in a key step towards decommissioning the Fukushima plant, which suffered triple meltdowns after being hit by a tsunami in 2011 in the world’s worst nuclear plant disaster since Chernobyl 25 years earlier.

A spokesman for China’s foreign ministry said it was not aware of the matter when asked about the harassment accusations at a regular briefing on Monday.But the Chinese embassy in Tokyo released a statement saying it had lodged stern representations with Japan about the Chinese embassy and consulates in Japan receiving “a large number of nuisance calls from Japan.”

Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said the government had “strongly” requested Beijing to urge its citizens to act “calmly and responsibly” after incidents of stone-throwing were also reported at a Japanese school and embassy. When asked about the incident in Qingdao and the harassment calls, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin defended China’s record of keeping foreigners safe.
